Tea for…more than two…
It was quite a while back but my last birthday was certainly one to remember. I had a wonderful time that was spent with friends and family. I went to a concert on the night of my actual birthday so I decided to host a little tea party beforehand in order to celebrate with those who could not make it to the show, as well as an attempt to class things up a bit.
I grew up with my mother throwing beautiful afternoon teas so I wanted to see if I could do hers any justice. Alice in Wonderland was my theme since it seemed like the obvious choice for a birthday celebration. Tea was certainly served, as well as a plethora of edible goodies (featured after the jump), however I think the sparkling wine was probably the most popular beverage of the evening!
I started preparing for the party about five days in advance, doing a little bit every day, while trying to juggle that with my work schedule. I prepared some of the food items in advance and then placed them in the freezer. I also tried to get an early start with making the decorations and purchasing the necessary party supplies.
